Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as "friend and saviour" of North East, especially of Arunachal Pradesh.
"Just think of this ... in about 26 years since Arunachal Pradesh became a state, less than 50 visits were made to the state by Union ministers.

He also expressed confidence that Arunachal Pradesh will continue to receive such attention even after 2019 as Modi would return as the Prime Minister
